Coconut-Lime Pudding Cake
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened, plus a bit for the pan
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 large eggs at room temperature, separated
- 1/2 cup limeade concentrate, thawed
- 3/4 cup canned unsweetened coconut milk
- 1/4 teaspoon fine salt
- Toasted coconut, for garnish, optional
- Game Plan: Start boiling the water when you turn the oven on so it's ready when the cake goes into the oven.
- Separate eggs while the lime concentrate thaws in the microwave.
- Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 325 degrees F. Lightly butter a 1-quart gratin dish or 8-inch round cake pan and set it in a roasting pan.
- Beat the 2 tablespoons butter with 1/2 cup sugar in a large bowl until creamy, using a handheld electric mixer.
- Beat in the flour, then the egg yolks, limeade concentrate, coconut milk, and salt.
- (For the airiest egg whites, clean the beaters thoroughly so none of this mixture is left on them.)
- In another medium bowl whip the egg whites until they form soft peaks.
- While whipping, slowly pour in the remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar and continue beating until the whites hold stiff, glossy peaks.
- Fold a quarter of the whites into the coconut-lime mixture, then fold in the remaining whites.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and add enough boiling water to the roasting pan to come halfway up the side of the dish.
- Bake about 35 minutes or until the top of the pudding cake is slightly puffed and golden.
- Remove from the water bath and cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes; serve warm.
- Garnish each serving with toasted coconut, if desired.
- Know-How: Baking the cake in a water bath ensures that it will bake evenly and retain its luscious, saucy bottom.
